With over 1,000 Indian and Overseas Exhibitors coming under one roof, Excon 2017 has witnessed a 26 per cent growth in terms of number of exhibitors compared with the 2015 edition. So, while this will be the largest event on all counts including the number of domestic and overseas visitors, exhibition area and new project launches, the biggest difference will be the enhanced presence of foreign players – 300+ participants. There will be country pavilions including leading economies like Germany, Italy, China, and South Korea & United Kingdom.” He added.

India’s investment in infrastructure is estimated to double to about US $1 trillion during the 12 th Five Year Plan (2012-17) compared to the previous Five Year Plan. The Government has committed huge capital outlay in developing rail and highway networks besides launching mega

Given these facts, it is absolutely essential for the earthmoving and construction equipment industry to collaborate with all stakeholders including government agencies, and events like Excon can go a long way in facilitating that.” The Government of Karnataka is the Host State for Excon 2017.
